Compound Bow Comparator

Hoyt has openly marketed the Turbo models in the past for those with a shorter draw length or those not wanting to compromise speed, but not able to pull heavy poundage. Perhaps the reason for not marketing the bow to the masses was the slightly shorter axel-to-axel measurement of 33-inches. With the newly designed limbs and cams, the new sting angle should be more of a positive for those wanting a turbo performance bow at the upper range of the draw cycle. Those interested in a high performance bow should give the DFX Turbo cam powered bow a legitimate shot. The performance and brand new design comes at a premium price of $1049, but Hoyt has been a top-notch company for a long time and they generally have prices at the upper range of the accepted market price. To be honest, it is really tough to bash a completely redesigned offering created from the ground up, by a company like Hoyt. Does that mean the Defiant Turbo is the perfect bow for everyone? Absolutely not. However, the engineering that went into creating a speed bow is worth a look for those in the market for performance. Read full review...

The Nitrum turbo is a great shooting bow for those wanting the most in terms of speed and performance. It is a little disappointing to not have 80-pound limbs as an option on the turbo, but that only appeals to a small percentage of shooters. With the improvement to the stiffened offset riser, the cage design from the Hoyt target models, and the zero torque cable guard system, this aluminum riser is on of the best Hoyt has ever produced in regards to research and development. Hoyt has never had a true speed bow, and their first installment in the segment is a winner. Read full review...
